Ten (10) kg of water at 100 degrees C expands in a piston and cylinder arrangement from a volume of 0.1 m^3 to a final state at 5.0 bar and 240 degrees C.the path of process can be expressed as
P = a + b(V ^0.5) (A)
Where, P is in bar an V is in m3.
1. Evaluate the values of a and b in equation (A)
2. Evaluate the work and heat transfer for this process, each in nkJ.
Describe whether the work is done by system (water) or on the system.
